T&E Soft released some news on a sequel to Blaze and
Blade:
Eternal Quest, called Blaze and Blade Busters. The characters of Eternal
Quest
return for the sequel, but with a new twist to the game. Using the
multitap
for the PlayStation, up to four people can control characters at one
time.
Not since Square's Secret of Mana has there been a multi-player RPG, and
this
is a first to have four players, and a first for the PlayStation.

Another nice feature is the ability to load characters
from
Eternal Quest, however Busters' characters will not load in Eternal
Quest.
Overall, the game has been enhanced graphically, and play control has
improved
as well. Another addition is a second-hand shop, where the players will
be
able to purchase items at any time during the game, instead of only at
the
auctions.

The current release date for the PlayStation is
September
1998 in Japan. There currently is no translation scheduled for the U.S.

[Editor's Note: SoM was known as a multiplayer game, but the previous
wording
did not indicate this. I hope this is more clear.]
